Hello,

My name is Marianna Brandt Coutinho. I made this GoFundMe fundraiser months ago on behalf of someone that means a lot to me, my uncle Rafael.

I am reaching out again to you, friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers. My uncle Rafael is still fighting. His journey with colon cancer continues, currently dependent on a VAC wound therapy system that requires changes every 3 to 4 days. His condition is ongoing, and so are the costs — wound care, medical supplies, nutrition, and basic living needs.

But as time passed, life moved on for many — while his fight never stopped.

Today, we’re reactivating his fundraiser because he still needs us.

Please consider sharing, donating, or simply sending a message of love. Every act counts, and every bit helps carry him forward.

Thank you in advance,

Marianna Brandt Coutinho & Coutinho family.
